Killing Credibility - Sales Influence Po...

VICTOR ANTONIO
About this episode
Credibility and Trust

🎯 Presenting rounded numbers instead of precise figures can trigger skepticism and damage the credibility of the entire presentation.

🔍 A single instance of inaccurate data can lead audiences to question the truthfulness of everything else said, creating a cascade effect of lost trust.

Data Integrity

📊 Using "lazy math" or presenting numbers without proper backing from studies risks being caught in falsehoods, jeopardizing the presenter's overall message.

Effective Communication

💼 Salespeople must ensure their presented numbers are accurate and backed by data, avoiding the temptation to round for convenience (e.g., presenting 31% instead of 25%).

Impact of Misinformation

⚠️ Even if 99% of a presentation is truthful, a single incorrect point can significantly impact the presenter's credibility, potentially killing their credibility entirely.
